More quotes by Rick Warren

Image
The greatest gift God gave us is also our greatest curse, which is the free will. We are made in God's image, the Bible says, which means we have the ability to love him or not love him, to reject him or not reject him.
Rick Warren
Image
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
Rick Warren
Image
We need the value and the beauty of democracy, and the beauty of pluralism is there's a free exchange of ideas. Nobody is right all the time. I'm not right all the time. I don't agree with anybody all the time, and I don't even agree with myself all the time.
Rick Warren
Image
How much are you worth? Jesus says, with his arms stretched out on the cross, I'm willing to die for you, because you mean this much to me.
Rick Warren
Image
What is your assurance of salvation? The promise of God's Word. If God says it, that settles it, because God cannot lie. You can trust the promise of God's Word.
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life. It'll change everything.
Rick Warren
Image
First open your heart, then open your Bible.
Rick Warren
Image
I just think the Internet has made us ruder.
Rick Warren
Image
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Rick Warren
Image
After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Living to create an earthly legacy is a short-sighted goal.
Rick Warren
Image
Irrelevance happens when the speed of change outside an organization is greater than speed of change inside an organization.
Rick Warren
Image
Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.
Rick Warren
Image
Get honest with God, and your focus will shift from just seeing your problems - no matter how overwhelming they seem - to the grace of God.
Rick Warren
Image
Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
Rick Warren
Image
We're not in control but we do have a greater hope and we do have a source of joy that isn't based on our circumstances.
Rick Warren
Image
One day it's all going to be clear. It's all going to make sense. You're going to be able to say, So that's why God allowed that in my life! Until then, God wants you to trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
Keep your hope in the Lord and your eyes focused on the hope of Heaven, not just on the here and now.
Rick Warren
Image
Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.

If it grows on a plant, it's healthy. If it's made in a plant, don't eat it.
